I LOVE QVC TSV’s when they involve IT Cosmetics! I purchased the last one myself because I didn’t have the chance to review it. Lucky for me, I did have a chance to review THIS TSV, and it’s an amazing value at $59.95… but that price is for TODAY only!

I have tried everything in the collection, and I have to say the standouts are the Celebration Foundation SPF 50 and the The IT's Your Beauty palette. As I have said before, the only powder foundations I wear are IT Cosmetics, and I love the addition of SPF in this hydrating, full-coverage powder foundation!

OPI is following up last year’s highly coveted OPI Coca-Cola Collection with the Icons of Happiness Collection for Summer 2015. This collection will include 6 repromotes from last Summer plus two brand new shades inspired by the iconic Coca-Cola bottle, which is celebrating it’s 100 year anniversary!

New for this year are Centennial Silver, a shimmering pewter and Visions of Georgia Green, a sparkling green inspired by the classic Coca-Cola bottle. Sadly my favorite shade from last, Green on the Runway, is not making a comeback this time around – though it’s currently available RIGHT NOW on HSN with FREE SHIPPING, along with both new shades from this collection!

The shades that are returning are You’re So Vain-illa, a sweet, creamy nude; Coca-Cola Red, the iconic red that’s always in style; My Signature is “DC,” a glimmering silver; Sorry I’m Fizzy Today, a smooth and creamy pink; Get Cherried Away, an over-the-top black cherry; A Grape Affair, a deep, dark purple. You can see my review and swatches of last year’s collection here.

Don’t forget to check out my comparison post to see if you already have a dupe!

Yes, you are reading this right, I am posting to my poor neglected blog! Today I am sharing a “what’s in my bag?” post with you as part of The Beauty Spotlight Team. Each week the ladies from the BST are sharing the nitty gritty of the insides of their bags with you! If you love these kinds of posts, make sure to check out these previous posts:

Back to my bag! I am currently carrying around my Kate Spade Aurelia Court Jessmin. I wanted something lightweight and fun for Spring, so when this bag was returned BNWT at my store I snatched it up right away! I knew it was fate, because I already owned Literary Pencil Pouch that matched perfectly!

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am really into planners lately! Back in February I really fell out of love with blogging. It felt like a full time job on top of my full time job! My husband and I were not spending as much time together as I would have liked, because I was always in my room swatching, editing, writing, or trying to find more ways to promote and monetize this blog. My depression went from bad to worse. One day I decided to give myself a one month break and walk away.

Two things happened after I stopped blogging – I got bronchitis and I discovered the planner community. To be honest, I am not sure which happened first! My bronchitis was actually very bad and I have missed several days of work over the past two months. When I did go to work, I didn’t wear makeup and I certainly didn’t do my nails. Every time I think I am getting better, it knocks me on my ass again! So I have had a lot of time to order stickers and make pretty dashboards for my planner.

I am still conflicted on coming back to blogging. If I do, it’s only going to be for fun. I don’t want to worry about sponsored posts, page views, or blogging networks. I am going to leave this blog up, and I am going to leave my Google Adsense on it, because TBH I need to pay off all the planners I have bought!

Last week I gave myself a manicure for the first time since February. I even posted two NOTD’s on Instagram. Does that mean I am back to blogging? I am still undecided. But atleast I feel good enough to care about what I look like again!

I am not sure how many of you are interested in the planner community. If you have questions or want details about what I have shared today, leave them in the comments. I may write another post. I may just respond to your questions. We’ll see.

About Me

Hello! Welcome to polish insomniac, my little corner of the interwebz. This is where I share my passion for all things beauty. I started out obsessed with makeup, then in 2009 I discovered the wonderful world of nail polish. After a few years of blogging about strictly nails, I felt the urge to broaden my horizons and share my love of shopping, makeup and hair products. I have a slight obsession with eyeshadow palettes and IKEA.
